On February 28, 2013, Marty Cobenais, a Red Lake member and a Tar Sands organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network, entered the Red Lake ceded land site.

Accompanied by several Red Lake Band members, Native, and non-Native supporters, Cobenais occupied the Enbridge pipelines that were considered to be illegally on Red Lake ceded land.

PART III: Calling for Reinforcements from Behind Enemy Lines in the Fight Against Keystone XL
I am amazed by the lack of understanding about this project by the general public and even more amazed that people in other parts of the country are so focused on the “northern segment” while the pipeline is actually being laid right here in Texas and will begin transporting diluted bitumen, tar sands crude oil, to Gulf Coast refineries by the end of the year. So many seem oblivious to this fact.
